You can't buy achievements in video games. You can, theoretically, buy a "Destiny 2" T-shirt that says you've achieved something, though. It'll just cost you almost a million bucks. But there is another, less expensive way: If players manage to unlock a certain weapon by Oct. 31, they'll receive a code that makes the shirt available for a much more reasonable $24.99...

The official Donald Trump merchandise store is selling a Trump football jersey with the number 45 and the message "Stand Up for America" on the front, and the name "Trump" across the back where a player's name would usually appear.

That meant that there was typically an appearance by…

The San Diego Padres were forced to recall giveaway beach hats last weekend after the organization found grain beetles in some of the items' packaging. According to the San Diego Union Tribune, fans at Petco Park received a voucher to get a replacement (and hopefully bug-free) beach hat mailed to their home. The team unfortunately already handed the items out before realizing the mistake, but ushers came around in the third inning with plastic bags to collect them...

Have you ever watched "The Simpsons" and dreamed of living in Springfield? You'd have the bulbous eyes, the job at the nuclear plant, your barstool at Moe's and your Isotopes fan gear. You'd probably do a good bit of your shopping at the Kwik-E-Mart, too. But, "Simpsons" fans don't have to magically transport themselves into…
